Morning Glory adventures in Kansas Continued

Here is another one.. I totally could not get the striking colour of this on camera it was just too dark. The flash whitened it out.

I keep missing my fuschia hige from last year.. it is a bud in the am, and a melted bloom in the evening when I get home.. dang it.. whoa.. kinda blurry.. don't open the pic .. LOL The white Hige from MG swap is still bloomng, I keep forgetting about it, it is with GS and I. lindehemeri behind my chair n the patio .

I just gotta know what this is.. does anyone know? I am wanting to know so I can ID it other than blue with white stripe and tips. In Fact, if the other blue ones are not named right here, please let me know what to name them. So far, I am naming them beautiful.

Closing this tonight with this white.. in the heart of the tomatoe vine. George Strait bloomed for me, but when I climbed up on a chair and snapped a pic of it, it came out blurry. Maybe next year I can plant it on the fence.. He can make the pinks and reds all swoon. That is a sight I want to see. Hope I get a seed pod, I think I planted all the GS seeds I had to get a vine out of them. Oh and remember the light gray bloom I posted earlier? the one that looked so pretty in the south bean patch garden? It was open again this am too, but I forgot to get a picture. All the sun smiles were blooming, I am still waiting on kikyos, blue jishis, the red noah, the yellows ( three kinds) and the setosa has a bud on it. I am also waiting on the beach moon vine on the patio to bloom, and the Alata out front, ( from Becky) as well as the meremia tuberosa seedling I grew over winter. It is rambling everywhere. Apricot Candy is finally budded, cypress vines are blooming, still waiting on two more varieties of lobatas to bloom. and.. will the stictocardia and the i. indica ever bloom for me? I am about to cut them away and make them go to sleep for the winter, only early. LOL
Keiryu and Henka are starting to bud. Pres Bush never did make it. There are alot more, but I can't remember them all.
OH! Nicole, your blue akatsu you sent in the MG swap has bloomed more than once, but I keep missing the photo shots. I love it.

Wow Debra, beautiful blooms. So glad you are sharing them with us.

Debra what few i have this year are doing well and are on their second blooming.
I havent posted any more except for the ones i brought in the house today.

What a great idea this Morning Glory breakfast party.
Me,I accept all the seeds they give me! LOL

So awesome Deb. The first thing I do every morning is go look to see if any are blooming. I had two more blooms this morning. They have wrapped themselves up the armillary now and hopefully they have enough summer left here to bloom higher up.

Every afternoon I;m out studying the moonflower vine too to see what there is. These poor plants have been stared at and prodded at so much it's a wonder they don' bite. :))

Love all your blooms Debra, so glad you got those huge crossed blooms!! I would have grown them sooner if I knew they were going to cross!! I love mysteries and good surprises!!

Hey Debra have a seed collection question for you. Do I have to cover the pods on the moonvine to collect the seeds? They are getting bigger and I figure they are "poppers". Just after a sanity check here.

Debra - Beautiful!

Is this one http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8075563 the same as the first photo in this thread?

Evening everyone.. The bloom you asked about Becky is a different vine, and is tagged as a NOID from Helen. Some of the blooms on that vine are more purple than others. It is producing lots more seed pods than the other vine at the top of the thread.
As far as the moon vine seeds, I leave them on until they are brown, the I cut them off at the base of the bloom stem
( where the pods are) and bring them into the house and they go on top of the corner curio until I am ready to clean, bag, and tag them. They stay on alot more stronger than the I. Purps and the I. Nils do. On the Jishis you are growing from me, I would use a tiny organza bad over any seed pods on it. they will still grow and when they pop open they will say inside the bag. You can find those organza bags at wally world in the wedding supply section.
I have open boxes, from shoes, long envelope boxes from work, and any nice looking box and also white paper lunch bags full of dried flower seeds heads and all. They are easy to mark.
Helen you are getting first pods on your crosses I am growing. I have tags made up for everyones seeds that I have planted to send back to them at least one pod . Well, maybe not all the SOHS I have around, none of them look too different from the other from everyone. I am curious to see what other people have grown from my seeds I sent. I am glad Neener has grown some. Thank you. Becky , is that your Kikyo Ice I asked about above?


Miko No Mai, out front, from seeds I saved from last year.

Miko No Mai "Sybils Dance" from grow out of Onalee's seeds last year.

Same Vine, different bloom. I love this vine.

Liz sent me some seeds in the late winter of 08, I grew them out and saved a whole vine full of pods.. It was called Lavender Beauty. It has the corner underneath the Mimosa tree out front. It is in a large pot with a large tomatoe cage to climb on.

This is a new one in the bean patch garden. I have it tagged as Xiongs

Debra - I have Kikyo Ice for the first time currently. And unfortunately, the rust is getting all my I. nils so I probably won't get many seeds if any from all my current I. nils. :-(

This is from another one of my seeds from last year, an Akatsu no Mai.. it was darker last year, but it was entwined with Miko, so who knows.

Not worry, Becky, your name is on these seeds, too. here is akatsu out front, rambling on the rose of sharon like it owns it.

Here is stictocardia, even after a trim.. I am about to trim it some more if it doesn't do something soon..

This is i. jaegerii.. about to bloom

This is the baby woodrose I grew last year and kept in the pink bedroom, it has a couple of other friends in there, looks like a poor texas star hibiscus got tangled up in this pot. Poor thing. I had one last winter it grew and bloomed all the whole time down there, and was almost 7 ft tall. I will take this one out of this pot, and let it grow this winter as well. The woodrose has not bloomed yet, and I need to pull the i. purp out I found blooming. Those pink i. purps are in everything. They also have mites. ugh.

These are the lovely i. purps from ronnie I planted out front to grow over the brick wing.

I just can not get enough of this one. It thrills me to see it when I walk out the back door and turn right.

These also have high ranking in my books.. They put out the blooms like crazy. all of the blooms look different. They are all blue and white with a dark shade of deep almost purple in the folds.

There is also a touch of turquoise in them... lovely.

Back to this one. Gosh I hope it puts out a seed pod. It is right on the same growing pole of the ones above.

Remember this ugly pot? Now I have a lovely Pandurata growing in it. The tuber put out two leaders.

This plant started n one of my white shower caddys on the patio, behind my chair. It cralled into the bean patch and into the electric lime coleus I over wintered..They look good together, but I have to move everything off the patio to get to it. Mistake.

oops. here is the picture..

The blooms on this vine are more striped.

The south fence line this am..

This sweet autumn and john clayton lonicera compliment the blue I. Nil, I think.

The vine that Emma ID as Ipomoea hederifolia var lutea, I rooted some of the pieces I cut off of it, they are very happy now in this pot......
Time for September's Chronicles into Fall.. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1126739/
